Synopsis
Alvar Aalto's work is strongly influenced by his experience of nature – especially in the deep forests of his Finnish homeland. But he also visited the sites of antiquity on several trips to the Mediterranean and the Orient.
This book explores the dominant theme of nature in Aalto's work in a variety of ways. Interestingly enough, it is little known that he also worked as a landscape architect and created the garden for Villa Mairea together with the architecture as a Gesamtkunstwerk.
Richly illustrated essays describe for example Aalto's garden art and the influences of the Mediterranean landscape on Elissa, Aino and Alvar Aalto. The wonderful photographs by Elina Brotherus, mostly taken especially for this book, show Aalto's typical intertwining of interior and exterior spaces and convey the magic of the Finnish landscape.

Hardback. Condition: New. 1st. Alvar Aaltos Werk wurzelt tief in der Natur - in den stillen Wäldern Finnlands ebenso wie in den Landschaften des Mittelmeers und des Orients, die er auf seinen Reisen entdeckte. Dieses Buch folgt dem roten Faden Natur in seinem Schaffen und öffnet neue Perspektiven auf den Architekten, der auch als Landschaftsgestalter wirkte, etwa mit dem Garten der Villa Mairea. Reich bebilderte Beiträge zeigen, wie Aaltos Architektur mit Gärten, Wäldern und Licht verschmilzt, und wie mediterrane Eindrücke auf Elissa, Aino und Alvar Aalto wirkten. Die Fotografien von Elina Brotherus - teils eigens für dieses Werk geschaffen - lassen das Ineinandergreifen von Innen- und Außenraum sichtbar werden und bringen den Zauber finnischer Landschaft unmittelbar zur Geltung.
